Referential Love Poem

——–

If I could be a dog

I’d try for Bulgakov

heartless

but I’d likely only get a longing

like Iggy’s,

though I’d still be yours,

stalwart with a manic pulse,

yours completely.

——

Watching you melt above me

as always, though new

like changing weather

a flower swallowed

a mighty rage as old as ancient bones

dopamine, prolactin charging passionately out of habit.

Watching you melt above me

primal, humid, nearing and consuming…

I am yours,

made for your wrath or for your lenity,

yours completely.
